This is not a German word. Pseudo-German at best.

Put it into Google and you will see.

It doesn't even make sense to use strchr for determining the position of 'r', when the code checks that the position of '-' is at index 0.

Your solution is perfectly fine. Even if you don't have access to strchr for some reason, the original snippet is really convoluted.

You could just write (strlen(argv[1]) > 1 && argv[1][0] == '-' && argv[1][0] == 'r') if you really want to.

There are several ways to do that. The best method is to use a real computer.

Of course, the website operator can do something about this as well. On my website I redirect all traffic from mobile devices to the kids section of YouTube.

lol and the post is gone. I had to stop reading after this

If you cannot use punctuation correctly, of course you cannot diagnose yourself.

Electron is not WebView my friend.

And the UI runs on WebView.
> wasn't the very concept of "libraries" created to not have to think about what exactly the code does?

Let's say you need a FFT implementation. You can write that from scratch, or you can use a library. In both cases you should use tests to verify that the code calculates the FFT correctly, and in the library case you should read the code to make sure that it works correctly and does not omit and edge cases (e.g.).

Nice troll. I like how it yielded 403 in the end.
Do you happen to know some good learning resources (books, etc.) for modern Java versions?

My last job used Java 8 exclusively and it was indeed a miserable experience, but I am contemplating using modern java for my next project.

There is even an iPad ad. But no submissions about the iPad though.

Well, some of the "articles" on Grokipedia even state that they were sourced from Wikipedia.

Wow you are easily shocked.

Indeed. I like how the website claims "McSweeney’s accepts no writing aided in any manner by AI."

Really hard to believe that a garbage “article” like this was produced by a human.

Indeed they are not. They are a Austrian GmbH, which is a special kind of company form that is not really comparable to a e.g. British or American Ltd.

Long story short, for being a publicly traded company, they would need to "transform" to an AG ("Aktiengesellschaft", where "Aktie" means "share of stock").

Actually this is not needed, because you can configure Firefox to block autoplay of audio and video content on all websites by default.
